Pros & cons
Advantages
- Open-source, so you can modify the code if you have technical skills
- Freemium model means you can start without upfront costs
- Decent range of built-in features covering most ecommerce basics
- Active community and marketplace for extensions and themes
- Works well for small to medium shops looking to avoid vendor lock-in
Limitations
- Self-hosted version requires technical knowledge and server management; learning curve is steeper than simpler platforms
- Can require significant customisation to match specific business needs, which takes time or developer cost
- Performance and security depend on your hosting and how well you maintain the installation
